Uncertainty. Does it look like dorians going to pivot northwest . And if it does, what does that mean for floridians and the rest of the southeast . The cone hasnt moved farther west which is good news. Floridas still going to feel the impacts of the storm. Its still too early to tell exactly how much more northwest this storm is going to go. I think the one mile per hour is actually a generous speed. It doesnt look like this thing is moving at all. This made landfall in the abacos mid yesterday. Its barely moved. Sitting over grand bahama island, 15 mileperhour winds and moving at literally a snails pace. Look at this radar. There is a sixhour loop, and it looks like it is staying still over grand about mabout mama island grand bahama island.

It did not get hit. It took a different path. It hit the bahamas very hard. We are working with the government of the bahamas at their request. We have a lot of people helping and most importantly the United States coast guards which has done so incredibly well in texas and florida and puerto rico. Admiral, if you can say a few words about that . We are ready domestically here from florida to the carolinas part of the dhs theme. In the bahamas, it has been k challenging. Flight crews got in there. We rescued 50 folks to date. We are just started to get the site picture of freeport. Today well have a fuller picture. Thats the region where dorian just pounded the region. We expect the impact will be severe, we are rendering life saving support here. Providing urgent support or air marine counter parts and well see where this evolves in the next 24 hours. And even from puerto rico to areas thatll definitely get hit if you look at North Carolina and South Carolina and georgia. We are in so
Its still setting its sights on the u. S. After Hurricane Dorian made landfall, instead of weakweaken this storm got stronger. These are the Northern Islands of the bahamas. The first land and homes and cities hit by dorian. Emergency officials there are reporting major damage. Houses with their roofs torn off or completely destroyed. This is now my house. The water is up to my calf. The kitchen. Look at that. Thats just one of many, many homes in the bahamas torn apart by this hurricane so far. Its just the beginning. Forecasts say this storm is moving slower than you or i can walk. We do have camera crews and correspondents in the bahamas. First to the Severe Weather center. Lets talk time line. How long before the force is felt on the east coast of the u. S. . I think its going to slow down overnight tonight. As you mentioned, its probably going to move at 2 1 2 miles anticipate hour. It could hang around the be bahamas. The only change is the pressure is up a little bit. Meaning it
A somber tone on sunday. Most persons are live in the this is probably the most sad area where they are either on the water or near to the water.

Has already devastated one country, and its not over yet. For days Hurricane Dorian slowly tore through the bahamas. And we are getting a look at that destruction right now. Whole islands look like theyve been smashed with a wrecking ball. At least seven people were killed. Homes torn to shreds. Communities gutted. The Prime Minister says his country is facing a national crisis. The National Airport in abaco is underwater. The runway is completely flooded.

But its still packing a punch. Its now in category 2 picking up speed as it threatens the United States. Our meteorologist Pedram Javaheri joins us with the very latest on dorians track.
